Hand-Built Ceramic Vessel by John Ward
A rounded pot with a squared neck (circa early 1990s) by British potter John Ward (1938–2023). Known for his distinctive approach to form and surface. While Ward is widely recognized for his black-and-white pots, this piece highlights his earthy palette and geometric precision, reflecting his deep understanding of balance and texture. Born in London in 1938, Ward studied at Camberwell School of Arts & Crafts under Lucie Rie and Hans Coper.
Using hand-building techniques, he constructed vessels from layered coils of clay, creating refined, sculptural forms. After relocating to rural Wales in 1978, his work gained international recognition, with exhibitions across the UK and US. Today, his ceramics are held in major collections, including the Victoria & Albert Museum. Ward ceased working in 2017 due to health reasons, but his influence on British studio pottery remains significant.
